15. Both militaries are addicted to oil.
No oil, no military.

Until people understand the direct relationship between Big Oil and the MIC, this will go on until the last drop of oil is extorted by the threat of, or direct action of, military force...so a chosen few can become stupendously wealthy.

The biggest single user of refined petroleum products on the face of this planet is the Department of Defense of this country. They will stop at nothing to keep that addiction going, including killing those that stand in the way.

They have useful tools like Bush and Blair do the political dirty work for them, throw them a few bucks, and stay behind the curtain.
